Custom DNS Target

You can define a Custom DNS target for ACME DNS-01 challenges, leveraging DNS providers supported by the Lego project.

Create a Custom DNS Target with the CLI

To create a Custom DNS target with the CLI, run the following command:

akeyless target create custom-dns \
  --name <target name> \
  --provider-type <DNS provider> \
  --dns-parameter <key|value>

Where:

  • name: A unique name of the target. The name can include the path to the virtual folder where you want to create the new target, using slash / separators. If the folder does not exist, it will be created together with the target.
  • provider-type: The DNS provider type. All DNS providers available through the Lego project are supported.
  • dns-parameter: The parameters for the DNS provider.

You can find the complete list of parameters for this command in the CLI Reference - Akeyless Targets section.

  1. Log in to the Akeyless Console, and go to Targets > New > Other (Custom DNS).
  2. Define a Name of the target, and specify the Location as a path to the virtual folder where you want to create the new target, using slash / separators. If the folder does not exist, it will be created together with the target.
